and three

Rootתלת (t-l-t)
Core Meaningsthree, triad, thirdness
Semantic Rangethree (cardinal number), third (in some contexts), a triad or group of three
Conceptual SignificanceAs a basic numeral, "three" often conveys completeness or stability in biblical literature (e.g., triads of events or persons). In Aramaic sections of Scripture, it functions the same as its Hebrew cognate, structuring narrative and symbolic patterns around sets of three.
Morphological NotesAramaic cardinal number, masculine singular absolute (תְלָתָה), with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). Occurs once in this form.
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to the Aramaic masculine singular absolute cardinal תְלָתָה ("three"). The rendering "and three" preserves the conjunction and the simple cardinal sense of the masculine singular absolute form, which in English does not mark grammatical gender.
